About the Event
This event will be donation-based, held via Zoom, and open to all.
The way the self arrays itself is the shape of the entire world.--Dogen Zenji
What does it mean to practice in the midst of living? How do we awaken in the fire of our own lives? One of the core Dharma teachings is the teaching of emptiness. Though often misunderstood, insight into emptiness empowers us to live a genuine, authentic life. During this mini-retreat we will explore the freedom and love of emptiness through the basic tenets of Dharma practice: openness, compassion, stillness, inquiry and expression. We will use guided meditation, creative exercises and group dialogue to directly experience the many facets of emptiness and come into a deeper relationship to ourselves and the world.
